At least one person who had contact with the man had mild symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection, the paper reported, citing Ko. After confirming its first case of H7N9 bird flu this month, Hong Kong beefed up surveillance of travelers with fever, activating part of a pandemic preparedness plan. The novel avian influenza strain is often lethal to humans, though it doesn’t transmit easily from person to person. Hong Kong’s Centre for Health Protection has notified China’s central government, officials in Macau and Guangdong province and the Geneva-based World Health Organization of the second infection, according to the statement. In China, the government on Dec. 5 confirmed a new H7N9 infection, in a 30-year-old man in the eastern province of Zhejiang, according to the Hong Kong government statement. The man is being treated in a hospital in Hangzhou. [/quote] Here we go again
It Begins. Again.
Madagascar has closed its borders.
Hope they get a vaccine out soon.

Hello World War Z
But Bird Flu was so 2007, eventually it faded away from the public eye in news reports. besides this is a mutated/different strain infected on someone who probably wasn't that in fine of health anyway. i doubt there's nothing to worry about except for close conditions with birds, it's probably not going to blow out of proportion into some sort of actual [I]devastating plague[/I].
its that time of year again folks
Does this mean I have to wash my hands in liquor again and hear about all the cool kids who took the new vaccine which gives you narcolepsy?
can't we just get a year without a monthly apocalypse

You have no idea what narcolepsy really does to you, especially when you never had narcolepsy before and then one day you get it from a fucking vaccine and you get the bonus catalepsy also and your body becomes a living prison/hell for half a year before someone actually agrees that you have the disease and prescribe you some meds

I'm sure you've laughed or joked at something that hasn't affected you, but makes life hell for others. Don't get defensive about it, laughter is good for you.

So your brain starts to filter your emotions and you become a fucking sociopath. I got meds for the catalepsy a month ago and i have never felt better. Narcolepsy makes you sleep fucked up and your dreams even more fucked up, you feel pain in dreams and when you wake up your brain is a bit slow to recon that you are awake so the nightmare sticks for a few seconds even when you are awake, fun times. Oh when you do laugh or rage your body becomes numb and your knees feel weak and you might fall or collapse a sometimes, it looks like a kid playing with a robots power switch.
